Hello Stampers, I hope you are having a great weekend....I have stolen a bit of 'quiet time'....hubby away, son at work, daughter asleep, so I have snuck in to check the latest Less is More Challenge. I am only new to the LIM site and because of time differances, if I don't do it Sunday I miss out because I never get time to stamp during the week due to work and all the other trials and tribulations of family commitments in a working week. A couple of times I have made a card to post but by the time I get there to post it the challenge is closed...damn....lol. So anyway, the recipe this week is to pick 3 things from previous challenges, so I picked Embossing, Butterflies & White on White. This is the first card that I have actually completed and it has been entirely white on white. Usually half way through I give in an add another colour....so needless to say, I am very pleased with myself!! <big grin>

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of your weekend & have a great week. See you next weekend.﻿

Well I am back again....I saw this picture on the Shabby Tea Room site earlier this week and thought it was just soooo lovely that I would have a go at it. I am afraid my colours don't really give the picture justice but I am happy with the end result. I haven't posted at the Shabby Tea Room before so this is a bit exciting for me.This layout is also a previous Mojo Monday (#203) sketch that I really liked so thought I would use it again. Bye for now....

Here is a second card I have made using the Shabby Tea Room colours. Like I said, I think that picture is sooo gorgeous﻿, so much so that it has me inspired to use colours that I would never normally gravitate to. I am much happier with this card, I think it does the colours much more justice.

Well, that's it from me for today as I have things to do and its not stamping....sadly.....

Hello Crafting Enthusiasts....I have gotten an early start to my Saturday of Stamping and I must admit I was struggling with this weeks Mojo but luckily, it has come together much better than I thought it would. Sadly there is no stamping, instead I have cuttlebugged my image and sentiment. It has been a while since I have made any xmas cards so I thought I should really make some more...that way it takes the pressure off later in the year. Thanks for stopping by,

Hi All, I started this card last weekend but didn't get a chance to finish it. Lucky for me, I have a bit of free time so have been able to finish it off. I have already posted a card to Less Is More #29 but after seeing all those great cards and a few pushbikes, it reminded me that I had one myself and I haven't used it yet. So here it is!! Thanks for stopping by.

Like I said.....I am on a roll!! Less is More has just posted this weeks challenge so I won't miss out on posting my card this time. This weeks challenge is a 'theme' - Things that Move. Obviously there are lots of images you can use for this challenge so the cards that are created will be wide and varied. This is the last card for me now as I am going to call it a night. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

Well I am on a roll today/tonight....I have been stamping/skyping with Robyn ﻿since lunch time and have made 3 cards!!! That does not happen very often but the hubby is at work, the daughter has a friend sleeping over so she is occupied and the son is on the computer playing with his mates...like his mother!! heehee

So anyway, for this card, I have combined 2 challenges, Crazy 4 Challenges is having a bingo challenge where you pick 3 things off the 'bingo card' to use on your creation, I picked brads, flowers and 2 or more designer papers and the other challenge is one of our RobVik challenges where we were to use black, grey and lime green. Well, my green was not very lime but......oh well. I am really happy with it, hope you like it. Stamping hugs.

I have been looking at the Less Is More site for a few weeks now and have finally taken the plunge to have a go at one of their challenges only to find the challenge has closed!!! LOL!!! Oh well, there is always next week....heehee. But all is not lost, on Crazy 4 Challenges they are doing Monochromatic cards so I will enter this card into that challenge.

The challenge at Less Is More was to use ink in a differant way to what you would normally use it and for it to be a single layer. I used my spritzers which I haven't used very often and are still trying to perfect....this is my design, hope you like it. Until next time, happy stamping.

Hello Friends, it is an absolutely glorious day in Townsville today, I hope your day is just as nice.

I made this Fathers Day card last week but didn't get around to posting it until now. I am early making it as I am trying to keep ahead of upcoming events as life is very hectic at the moment and it won't be changing in the near future.

I have also had a go at this weeks Mojo....I am not overly happy with it....it is 'just a card' but oh well that happens sometimes. Hope you have a great weekend, thanks for stopping by.

Hello Blogger friends, I hope your week has been good and that you have a great weekend organised. Mine is off to a great start as I have been able to get an early start on my stamping afternoon by being able to sit down this morning due to a bye with sport this week. During the week I picked up this decorative trim and I couldn't wait to sit down and use it. Lucky for me, this weeks Mojo was perfect for it. I hope you like it, until next time....happy stamping.

Hello fellow bloggers, I am very happy today as I didn't think I would get a chance to do any stamping this weekend but was lucky enough to grab a few hours today. I have been able to combine two challenges into one card this week....Mojo #202 & Our Creative Corners - red & aqua challenge and this is the result. Hope you like it, until next time, happy stamping.
